DreamPress 2 : Dreamhost Launched WordPress Optimised Hosting

In last couple of years, I have seen a lot of companies leaving the traditional route of generic shared hosting and started offering platform specific hosting options. For example, now we have many companies which offer WordPress managed hosting that are optimised for running WordPress platform. For a new blog or a low traffic WordPress blog, a normal shared hosting company like Dreamhost, Bluehost, Hostgator works great, as it fits in our budget, and quite reliable in terms of support.

When it comes to hosting a WordPress blog with decent traffic, decent or huge number of plugins, and custom codes, a managed WordPress hosting environment is anytime better than a shared hosting. In layman language, a managed WordPress hosting server is fine-tuned for running a WordPress blog. I have already mentioned couple of times that WordPress is a memory hogging blogging platform, and to ensure your blog stays up , it’s a good idea to host your blog on a reliable server.

Dreamhost which is one of my choice of cheap and reliable shared hosting company for WordPress launched DreamPress; a premium WordPress specific hosting. Dreampress is available for all existing and new customer as an upgrade from Dreamhost web panel. Unlike shared hosting from Dreamhost, which is optimized for any platform, DreamPress hosting is only for WordPress blog.

What’s so special about DreamPress 2 WordPress hosting?

With DreamPress, you will enjoy the power of VPS which is highly optimized for WordPress platform. Along with optimized WordPress settings, you will also be taking advantage of varnish caching. That’s the same server level caching mechanism I’m using here at ShoutMeLoud, which helps me load my posts/pages within seconds. Here is an official excerpt from DreamPress team about their WordPress optimized servers:

First, we start with our efficient container-based VPS servers. We put those VPS containers on hardware that’s isolated from other users, configure them with options we’ve hand-chosen as best for WordPress, and then add an extra Varnish caching layer in front of the web server for rocket speed. Varnish is configured just right for great WordPress performance – with all of the management handled automatically. You ay now also elect to run WordPress on PHP 5.5 with OPCache enabled or, optionally, on Hip Hop Virtual Machine (HHVM,) the drop-in PHP replacement built for extreme performance

To ensure your cache purge automatically, you need to install Varnish HTTP purge plugin, which automatically clears the cache when you edit, publish or delete a post. You can also, manually purge the cache anytime.
